Due to the weather conditions, Aberdeen Public Schools will be dismissing at 1 p.m. today, Tuesday, Nov. 25. The YDC, Boys & Girls Club and Ride Line will be picking up students at 1 p.m. There will be no afterschool activities and no afternoon preschool. Thank you and have a happy Thanksgiving!

Today we celebrated the 67th day of school!
We surprised students with trivia throughout the day, rewarded caller 6 or 7’s classes with treats, handed out Perfect Attendance certificates, and had a blast!
Here’s to being 67 days smarter and loving every minute at SMS!










HAPPY 67TH DAY OF SCHOOL!!!
Our Simmons Middle School flock is grateful. 🧡 This turkey is made entirely from the things our students and staff are thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

All month long, our students have been learning what it means to lead with kindness and gratitude. Today, our office crew flipped the script and showed our gratitude for the incredible teachers and staff who make SMS such a special place!
We hosted a full-on PIE-STRAVAGANZA in the office conference room, complete with slices upon slices of delicious pies, warm cider, and all the autumn vibes you could imagine. It was our small way of saying thank you for the heart, hustle, and love our teachers and staff pour into our school every single day.
Thank you, SMS teachers and staff and Happy American Education Week!
